Why
Kettlebells Dominate other Exercise Equipment:
Why
does the kettlebell dominate other equipment?
The Russian kettlebell owes half of its power to the proprietary
RKC training system. The other half is due to the kettlebell's
design, namely a thick handle removed from a compact center
of mass.
The kettlebell is the ultimate in conditioning
the body for extreme decelerations. Think
of all the sudden stops and direction changes on the football
field. If you have not conditioned yourself to handle these
forces, you will perform sub-par and run a high risk of injury.
Traditional strength training, even the Olympic 'quick lifts',
does not address this issue as the weight is either dropped
or treated to a slow negative. As Brett Jones, RKC Sr. put
it, "You cannot swing a barbell between your legs."
You could try it with a dumbbell -at least until the sheer
width of it takes your knees out. The compact kettlebell can
be dropped from the lockout between your knees and way behind
you where it will impact load your hips.
This dynamic loading sets up the hip muscles for a powerful
contraction. The kettlebell is the definitive
tool for developing the hip thrust, the power
generator in all athletics. Be it a jump, a kick, or a punch,
when expertly performed, it comes from the hip.
The kettlebell will make your back
resilient. Unique Russian exercises condition
your back from every conceivable angle, statically and dynamically.
One would have to take up powerlifting, yoga, strongman, gymnastics,
and a couple of other things to half way imitate the benefits
of kettlebell training.
Kettlebell's offset center of gravity maximizes
shoulder strength, flexibility, and health.
Most Russians have never heard of 'rotator cuffs.' Save for
combat wounds, shoulder injuries are virtually unheard in
the Russian armed forces. They train and test their personnel
with repetition one-arm snatches with a 53 lb. kettlebell
rather than pushups.
The kettlebell is an outstanding
grip, wrist, and forearm developer. A thick
and smooth handle combined with the ballistic nature of many
exercises loads the grip like rock climbing. Bottom up cleans
and similar leverage drills unique to kettlebells take care
of the wrists.
The Russian kettlebell is a complete, no-compromise,
extreme hand held gym. "We train with kettlebells
in case civilization is temporary," stated the Philadelphia
Kettlebell Club.
